Very rare, only three noted by Ravel (all in public collecctions), one in CoinArchives.

From the CJR Collection.

Calciati, in Pegasi, also erroneously places this issue at Leukas (Pegasi 115). The drawing of the shrimp on Pegasi 105 at Ambrakia is also incorrect in the text, due to the tail being off the flan on the piece that Calciati illustrates.
